Dear Donald Trump

Why I can't support this Republican candidate.

Dear Donald Trump
Salon

Donald Trump,

Soon, the people of America will decide whether or not you will be the next person to run this country. While many find your "honesty" appealing, I do not. I believe you are honest, for the most part. I believe that you speak exactly what is on your mind, and I find the things that are on your mind to be very troubling. You have called women names based on their weight, breast size, and appearance. You have judged people based on the color of their skin or their religious preference. You say you stand with the Constitution, but what about freedom of religion? When you threaten to ban Muslims from entering the country, you are shredding the first amendment. You have stated that you are allowed to sexually assault a female just because you're rich and famous, and you believe you can get away with it. Of course, the second you are accused of sexual assault, the woman making the allegations is a "liar". You have called yourself a man of Christian values, but doesn't the Bible say to love thy neighbor? It doesn't say, "Love thy neighbor as long as they aren't gay, Muslim, or poor," it says, "Love thy neighbor," with no exceptions added. You also have the nerve to judge Hillary Clinton based on the fact that her husband cheated on her, but you cheated on wife number one with wife number two, and wife number two with wife number three. I'm pretty sure the Bible is against adultery as well. A few months ago, you were worried about transgender going into the "incorrect" bathroom, claiming that they would sexually harass our daughters. However, you are currently in the middle of a trial for the rape of a minor. You are a violent man. We have heard you say that you will torture innocent women and children of our enemies, which is not only morally wrong, but would also mean you would be committing war crimes. You would be ordering our soldiers to commit war crimes. You claim to love and support our troops, but you stood on stage and shamed the name of a fallen soldier.

I cannot support you for these reasons, Donald Trump. I can't, and I won't.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
